It seems like few people have empthy anymore. For instance I notice that alot of answers on here seem so sarcastic instead of trying to help each other, and it's everywhere you go. I know it is a lot easier to make fun instead of trying to understand someone's problems. We are all here on earth together, why do we wan't to make things harder for one another? It's not like I am perfect but when I do or say something that might have hurt someone I try to make it right again. I was told when I was young I would feel different when I was older. I am now fourty and still feel the same. I know I can't change people, but If we could all just try a little more it might make a difference. Thanks for listening. Does anyone feel the same?

Charlemagne: You are just the type of person i was talking about, you should be ashamed of yourself. I do not know what might of happend to make you feel this way, but it doesn't have to be that way. I wish you could see things differently.

i know.
i'm not asking questions so people can give their rude opinion. if they don't have the good answer than they should just keep it to themselves.
and it's sad to me how the world is these days.
you always heard since you were a tiny little kid how to treat others how you want to be treated and things like that. but it seems like it just goes in one ear in out the other for a lot of people.
i believe that being nice to someone will pay off in the long run. i do it everyday.
have a good one

You're absolutely correct, but most fail to comprehend the complex equation that explains your concerns:
Society has been undergoing major changes over the past 40 years, and a hugely expanded government is at the root.
I'll keep it simple and down to 1 sentance (although a 10,000 page essay wouldn't do it justice)
"The formation of special interest groups have created and expanded wedges between men, women, children, and different ethnicities, creating victim / dependent mindsets incapable of large quantities of Generiousity - primarily because when one believes he/she is a victim, they are self consumed with whatever rights / handouts the gov't is giving them next, and distracted from the kindness, giving, and generiousity that defines us a good human beings."

I feel the younger generation has no respect!!!!!! I was taught to respect everyone no matter who they were.... Some of the answers I have read on different issues are very racist!!! I almost feel like crying. Maybe if we spent as much time on respecting others instead of disrespecting them, life would be a great joy!!!! Parents today, have lost all values and morals in teaching their kids. Very few of these people left....

Oh WOW I was thinking about that this morning too !
You put it very well -thank you !
Some people think that just because they have anonymity on line ,they can say rude ,hateful or racist things . This does not speak very well for there own personal character does it !!!!
I refuse to continue reading when I see a statement going down to the 'gutter'
I will not waste my time on 'bad reading ' and . garbage in any other part of my life either. !
Well said !!!!
